For those who have been confused the last two days, what the Mets pitching staff did there is called a shutout. Its an event in which the opposing (not Mets) team is limited to zero runs. Its the sort of thing we could get used to around here.

Santana only went five due to a rain delay, but gets the win. He was no Mike Pelfrey out there, but he limited the Giants to three hits and three walks before the storms forced a retreat to the dry confines of the inner workings of Shea.  When the skies a calmed down, Heilman came out with two hitless innings, Dirty and Joe Smith had an inning apiece.

Ramon Castro was responsible for the victory, with a three run homer in the fourth.  Delgado doubled Reyes #2 went 2 for 2 after entering the game in the seventh to hit for Heilman, and remaining in at second. His single in the eight scored Delgado, and he later scored on a Jose Reyes single, clearly proving we should just field an entire team out of people named Reyes.

Its nice to see Johan get some run support, and it’ll be curious to see if Jerry goes with his previous stated use of the hot hand, and start Reyes #2 tomorrow. Remember kids, day game tomorrow, so call in sick. Or quit your jobs. We’ll call it dealers choice.
